Vicki Gunvalson is allegedly back in touch with her ex-boyfriend, Brooks Ayers.

Did Brooks Ayers Just Confirm He Won't Be On 'RHOC' Next Season?

Although the Real Housewives of Orange County couple announced their split on Facebook last month, a source claims the two reality stars are communicating once again. However, when it comes to a possible reconciliation, there doesn't appear to be much hope.

“The breakup with Brooks is still really, really hard on her,” a source told Radar Online of Gunvalson on Thursday. "Vicki has told her friends that the death of her mother and the split with Brooks are the hardest things she has ever gone through [and] the fact that they both happened in the same year makes it that much worse for her."

"Vicki has had to unfortunately deal with these two really horrible things in her life happening in front of the cameras and that has made it even tougher on her," said the source.

While Gunvalson, 53, is back in touch with Ayers, the Radar Online source denied a reunion is in works.

"They still communicate with each other and it is really hard on the both of them. But they know in their hearts that this separation needed to happen," the source explained. "The way things were going on towards the end with how others were reacting to his battle with cancer just put an incredibly difficult strain on their relationship towards the end."
